In which we use an AI to analyze my writing.
I went to genderanalyzer.com and typed in my URL and clicked the Analyze button and waited patiently. It said, “We think http://goblinbox.com is written by a woman (67%).”
Only sixty-seven percent?
Hmm.
In which I think “artisanal” is a wholly silly word.
Once upon a time, everybody made their own breads and cheeses (or at least personally knew the person who made the breads and cheeses they ate), and I imagine these products were earthy and rustic and “artisanal” and at least edible if not actually delicious. Yay.
Then [...]
In which there are two lists. And pictures. And a lot of colons. I love using colons.

In which I write a timecapsule missive to my younger self.

Not everything has been moved nor is it all working yet. Patience, my babies. *smooch*

That server is the server goblinbox.com [...]

Friday night I waited for nearly an hour for my bro to finish an instance in WoW, then we went to Rosita’s for dinner. Mmm, chile rellenos!
I went to bed early Friday night because I was tired from going out Wednesday and Thursday.
Saturday I woke up at nine. It [...]

Being a creature from the bottom of a gravity well means that in order [...]
In which it’s all good news.

I’ve been asked to write an article [...]
Then I discovered Stanza. I installed it (for free, because I’d already purchased BookShelf), and… Wow! What an awesome application!
Today I am getting unreasonably irritated with my customers when they say dumb stuff, which leads me to mention that my vacation is at T -25 and counting.
They took her temperature (totally normal) and interviewed me about her behavior (she’s eating and drinking and eliminating) and poked and prodded her tummy (no pain response) and said she’s fine.
